Photo Essay: The Flora and Fauna of Algonquin Provincial Park

Many Ontarians have fond childhood memories of camping in Algonquin Provincial Park. Vast in size (in British terms, of course), Algonquin is also large in its natural wonder. For an ol’ foreigner like me who had zero-to-none camping experience, the opportunity to explore the park was new, unexpected and breathtaking.
